1 / 3The Vic Devonport
đ Devonport, Auckland
Independent Art Deco cinema built in 1912 in Devonport's seaside village. Multiple screens including a 30-seat private lounge, couch seating options, and passionate owner-operators who know their films inside out.
đ Family Action Verdict
There's something genuinely special about watching a film in a building that has been showing movies since 1912 - the hand-railed staircase, intimate foyer and passionate owners make every visit feel like an occasion rather than a transaction.

âThe gelato is amazing! House made! Perfectly matched with a walk up to the summit of Mount Victoria. We discovered this place on a visit over from AKL central city, caught the ferry, then stopped in for a seriously good waffle cone of gelato. One staff member made light work of a group doing the same thing and having patience was well rewarded. Amazing!â

âA beautiful independent cinema. Built in 1912 in the seaside village of Devonport. Art deco building which has several cinema theatres and also has live shows. We arrived just in time for a film to start they had a great selection of food and drinks. A lovely last minute experience.â
